I've studied the sort docs and tried many combinations without success.
sort

I'm sure I could muddle my way through with a python script, but I was hoping to get a one-liner using a "sort" or similar utility.

This exercise is really just a puzzle I came up with while reading the Vim docs on filters. I was trying to sort a range of lines, then I asked myself if I could just sort the current line.

I'm not a student in any classes, just a student of life.
